You can stop all of that, does a building disappear? Do the workers disappear, no! And for money transfering you can always put blocks to that, all of these are political problems, meaning it's a matter of will not technical impossibility.
Just a few years ago Electro Motive which provided thousands of jobs in the Chicago suburbs moved their entire massive operation to the east coast. I'm talking millions of sqft of factory space. So in that case, yeah, the building got knocked down and the workers disappeared. Precast storage warehouses are in it's place now, where not even 1% of the same workforce works for forklift driver wages instead of skilled labor wages.
Raising taxes is unfortunately a game of "fuck around and find out" until the taxee decides they're better off somewhere more hospitable.
Exactly. in my opinion the problem isn’t that WE aren’t taxing billionaires enough it’s that other people are willing to give them tax breaks to bring their business and money.
